Pant-suits.

[Aristus]

7. I agree. I'm so sick of Washington D.C's "uniform".

Navy suit, white shirt, red power tie. Or if a pol is feeling especially daring, a blue tie.

The Brits have their own Parliamentary uniform: grey suit, light blue shirt, dark blue tie.

There are a few variations on this theme, but it's pretty standard.

Just once, I'd like to see a stylish politician sport a single-button tan summer suit with a pastel shirt, paisley tie, argyle socks, and a pair of brown-and-white spectator shoes.

Hell, add gloves and a cane to go with them. Go bold or go home.
